    Since today - I have the latest flash player (64bit) and it's OK with Firefox.
    Anybody see this as well ?

    Edit:- When I disable my flashblocker userjs (which enables me to set flash on by clicking an f icon in the player), the player appears but with message 'an error has occured please try again later'. I think I have seen this before and that was 'fixed' soon thereafter.

    This happens to me randomly with Opera 10.51 and Win7. It will randomly work and randomly not work. I *think* a reboot solves it?

    I'm willing to bet it's a YouTube problem. They will be detecting flash, but don't have the right code to properly detect the version. So they are assuming you need to upgrade if the version cannot be read. If it was an Opera issue, I would think it would happen every time.

    Try latest beta for both Win and Linux, it fixes the youtube issue. Beta can be found here at http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/ So far flash in youtube and other sites seem to be working fine here.

    I installed the latest flashblocker.js from the site - I no longer get the upgrade prompt but when clicking the button I get the player with the 'an error has occured please try again later' message. All other sites are fine - so although A.Ruzanov says it's fixed in the latest script it doesn't work today for me. YouTube have probably found a way to get around this script. On the other hand I do remember having encountered this problem in the past and it was of short duration so maybe it will be the same this time.
    Scroll down to read the last couple of comments. http://my.opera.com/Lex1/blog/flashblock-for-opera-9?startidx=450#comments

    Edit:- It must be Youtube - my wife has the same story and she doesn't use a flashblocker.js. Will check tomorrow to see if YouTube really thinks
    Opera 10.10 is its enemy.

    @linuxforall - I would but no printing.

    This kept happening to me in 10.52 as well. A reboot did not solve the Youtube issue for me.

    Here is what I found:

    Use Text editor and create this file:

    Code:
    // ==UserScript==
    // @name        YoutubeProtectionRemover
    // @include     http://www.youtube.com/*
    // @description Removes lame protection on YouTube
    // @copyright 2010, Snap
    // ==/UserScript==
    
    window.opera.addEventListener(
    'BeforeScript',
    function (ev){
    ev.element.text = ev.element.text.replace("yt.flash.update(swfConfig, forceUpdate);","");
    },
    
    false);
    //end
    Name it: YoutubeProtectionRemover.js

    Now go to YouTube right click it Edit Site Preferences, select Scripting and at the bottom choose a folder where this file is located, click OK and restart Opera.

    (make sure that folder is accessible by Opera)

    Yes, I saw that and tried it out but still no go even when clearing cache. In fact the flashblocker.js I mentioned before includes an almost identical script which purports to fix the prob. but not for me.

    Code:
    // Fix for youtube
    if(location.hostname.indexOf('youtube.com') != -1)window.opera.addEventListener('BeforeScript', function(e){
    	e.element.text = e.element.text.replace(/yt\.flash\.update\(swfConfig, forceUpdate\);/, '');
    }, false);
    Thanks for posting it as it may help other Opera users.:thumb:

    It works when setting site preferences to 'Never Accept Cookies' with my Opera version 10.10 (64 & 32 bit) on Ubuntu(s).
    Weird hey ? The flashblock.js & getvideo.js also work.
